Wayfair Employees Plan Walkout to Protest the Company Selling Beds to Border Detention Facilities

Wayfair employees have planned a walkout on Wednesday to protest furniture sales by the online home goods store to a detention facility based along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The planned protest comes after more than 500 employees signed a letter asking company leadership to cancel an order that would provide bedroom furniture to a border detention site in Texas, a Wayfair employee, who declined to be named, tells TIME. Wayfair's CEO rejected the request.
